Vidic deal a boost for United

NEMANJA VIDIC has signed a four-year contract extension with Manchester United.

The announcement puts an end to the intense debate surrounding the Serbian’s future. The defender has been persistently linked with a move away from Old Trafford over the last 18 months..

Although Vidic never gave any impression of knowing where the stories about his apparent discontent in Manchester had come from, they never went away and both AC Milan and Real Madrid were said to be showing an interest in the 28-year-old after the World Cup this summer.
